Hm. "make" in src/test/examples works fine for me.
The only way I can account for the results you're showing is if your linker is preferring libpq.a to libpq.so, so that reading the library before the *.o files causes none of it to get pulled in. But that isn't the default behavior on any modern platform AFAIK, and certainly isn't considered good practice these days. Moreover, if that's what's happening, I don't see how you would have managed to build PG at all, because there are a lot of other places where our Makefiles write $(LDFLAGS) before the *.o files they're trying to link. Maybe we shouldn't have done it like that, but it's been working for everybody else.
What platform are you on exactly, and what toolchain (gcc and ld versions) are you using?
